Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Out of it for Brandon Webb

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs Out of it for Brandon Webb

By Brett on December 26, 2010

Hopefully you weren’t pining away for Brandon Webb in your stocking, because according to Jayson Stark, the Chicago Cubs are out of it for him. Interest in Webb had picked up over the last two weeks, and indications were that he was going to get a decent amount of guaranteed money, which is likely what took [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs “Have to Try” and Add a Starter Like Fausto Carmona

Lukewarm Stove: Cubs “Have to Try” and Add a Starter Like Fausto Carmona

By Brett on December 21, 2010

There is no way to sugercoat the Zack Greinke trade and its effect on the NL Central – the Brewers are now formidable, in a division that was already looking like an uphill battle for the Chicago Cubs. If they are to be competitive next year, most believe they’ll have to add a frontline starter [...]

Uh Oh: Zack Greinke Traded to Brewers

Uh Oh: Zack Greinke Traded to Brewers

By Brett on December 19, 2010

The Chicago Cubs weren’t going to acquire Zack Greinke, but we were hoping no other NL Central team would get him. Unfortunately, the Brewers just did. Former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, sources told ESPN The Magazine’s Buster Olney on Sunday morning. In the deal, the Brewers [...]

Whither Bob Brenly?

Whither Bob Brenly?

By Brett on October 7, 2010

Shortly after taking himself out of consideration for the Chicago Cubs’ managerial opening (because, paraphrasing his words, the Cubs are certain to suck for the foreseeable future), rumors are popping up that Cubs color broadcaster Bob Brenly is going to land the Milwaukee Brewers’ recently-vacated job. But those rumors were quickly shot down by Brewers’ [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Cardinals, September 13 – September 15, 2010

Series Preview: Cubs v. Cardinals, September 13 – September 15, 2010

By Brett on September 13, 2010

It’s series preview time again as the Chicago Cubs continue their road trip, and head to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals for the last time this year in St. Louis. The Cubs have little left to play for this year, but putting the final nail in the Cardinals’ playoff coffin certainly qualifies as [...]

Milwaukee Brewers Issue Fake Press Release Making Fun of Jim Hendry

By Brett on September 10, 2010

The Milwaukee Brewers distributed a “press release” before tonight’s game, purportedly issued by the Chicago Cubs regarding a new book by General Manager Jim Hendry. Under a headline that said “A new book certain to be a best seller” was the fake book title: “How to Finish Near Last Place with the Highest Payroll in [...]

Series Preview: Cubs v. Brewers, September 10 – September 12, 2010

By Brett on September 10, 2010

It’s Series Preview time again, as the Chicago Cubs head off to friendly Miller Park to take on the Brewers. If the Cubs were still in the race, this would look like a tasty match-up. As it stands, it looks like a reason to drink tasty beer. A refresher on the series preview here at [...]
